Remote Management with Server Manager

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

In Windows Server® 2008 R2, you can use Server Manager to perform some management tasks on remote computers. To manage a computer remotely by using Server Manager, you connect Server Manager to a remote computer in the same manner you would connect Microsoft Management consoles (MMCs) for other technologies.

Supported remote management scenarios

If you are managing a remote computer from a computer that is running Windows 7, start the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service to allow for the addition of trusted hosts. Open a Command Prompt session with elevated user rights by clicking Start. clicking All Programs. clicking Accessories. right-clicking Command Prompt. and then clicking Run as administrator. Type the following, and then press Enter. net start winrm

For remote connections in a Workgroup to Workgroup/Domain scenario, the remote computer must be added to the trusted hosts list on the source computer. To do this, run the following command on the source computer in a Command Prompt window that is opened with elevated user rights.

For remote connections in a Workgroup to Workgroup/Domain scenario, if a user is not logged on by using the source computer’s built-in administrator account, the following WinRM registry key must be configured to allow remote access from the source computer. This change is required because of a User Account Control (UAC) limitation on non-administrator accounts that are members of the Administrators group. To change this registry key, run the following command on the source computer at a command prompt that is opened with elevated user rights.

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

By default, WinRM allows for a maximum of five connections to a remote computer to be active per user. To increase the limit, run the following command on the source computer, in which X represents the number of connections that you want to allow, at a command prompt that is opened with elevated user rights.
